I’m Tryin’ Songtext
von Trace Adkins

This gettin′ up early, pullin' double shifts
Gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich
But I′m tryin'
It's been two years since we finalized
I still ain′t used to putting "ex" in front of "wife"
But I′m tryin'
"Send more money right away"
Is pretty much all she has to say when she calls these days
"And don′t you be late"

But all I can do is all I can do
And I keep on tryin'
And all I can be is all I can be
And I keep on tryin′
But there's always a mountain in front of me
Seems I′m always climbin', and fallin', and climbin′
But I keep on tryin′


I remember Daddy saying "Keep your eye on the ball
Run like hell, play to win, get up when you fall"
I'm tryin′
"Don't say nothin′ that you can't take back
Never do anything you might regret, no, don′t do that"
Daddy I'm tryin'
"Know the difference ′tween Heaven and Hell
Go easy on the bottle, be hard on yourself"
And I know he meant well

But all I can do is all I can do
And I keep on tryin′
And all I can be is all I can be
And I keep on tryin'
But there′s always a mountain in front of me
Seems I'm always climbin′, and fallin', and climbin′
But I keep on tryin'

I keep on tryin'
But all I can do is all I can do
And I keep on tryin′
And all I can be, well, that′s all I can be
And I keep on tryin'

But all I can do is all I can do
And I keep on tryin′
But there's always a mountain in front of me
Seems I′m always climbin', and stumblin′
, And fallin', and then climbin'
But I keep on tryin′


This gettin′ up early, pullin' double shifts
Gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich
But I′m tryin'
